1 Minute Cherry Almond Mug Cake..

When I was browsing the internet with nothing else to do I chanced upon a recipe for cherry almond cake. I wanted to try it but was sure that my kids will not even bother to try it as they hate almonds and cherry too. Now I was in a fix thinking if I should make a big batch and share with friends or just leave the idea of making it at all as none in the family is gonna entertain it. Also I did not know how would the taste be so was very skeptical in trying 

Finally ended up deciding to make the almond cherry cake but not as a regular sized cake. I made it in a mug and enjoyed it. It was soft and feathery and the aroma was awesome. Made it again the very next week
